A collection of bright, sunny and generally optimistic themes from the late ’70s, with string arrangements underpinning the main melodies.

The aptly named “Funky Captions” starts off with an energetic clavinet-fueled thump, and a series of “grand” themes from Peter Morris follow. With Morris’s “Beautiful Lady” and “Soul Search”, things get more mellow, before picking up on side B with John Cameron’s bouncy and energetic “Sweet Soul Sunday”. There’s something oddly familiar about Steve Gray’s “Going Places”, and the trio of Keith Mansfield compositions that close the album, end this generally light affair on a lighter note.
